About Princess Lodge Care Centre
Princess Lodge Care Centre provides dementia nursing, end-of-life, nursing, residential and respite care for older people and younger adults. Its care model is centred on understanding the individual, including their preferences and opinions, and using that knowledge to shape food, activities and daily experiences.
The home’s wider service information describes a broad care pathway, from residential support to 24-hour nursing and dementia care. The organisation also offers respite stays and invites prospective residents and families to book a visit. Care planning is therefore relevant both to long-term residents and to people seeking a shorter period of support. Dementia Nursing Care, End of Life Care, Nursing Care, Residential Care and Respite Care are the documented specialisms.

Questions families ask
How much does Princess Lodge Care Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Princess Lodge Care Centre for its weekly fee. As a guide, Swindon council paid on average £1,018 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Princess Lodge Care Centre whether it takes residents funded by Swindon council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
